Bohemian Rhapsody- Tumblr URLs.

bismillah-we-will-not-let-you-go:
This has to be the most pointless post ever.
Anyway, one boring night, I decided to look up on Tumblr URLs based on the lyrics of Bohemian Rhapsody and found these blogs. Of course, not all of them are Queenies- some of them are your average Tumblelog, some are empty blogs, some are inactive blogs and interestingly a few of them are...

I’m gonna agree with a whole lot of that and add my own slightly spoilery (?) wall of text.
I dunno, parts of the game felt like they were set up a certain way for the sake of being a Zelda game rather than because it made sense game wise. The whole Faron woods were just kinda meh for me and the only motivation you got for a while was ZELDA ZELDA ZELDA GOTTA GET...

This needs to stop...and let me tell you why!

Okay. Guys. Guys. Two things.
1) I’m a martial artist. I’ve been studying since I was seven. I wouldn’t even hesitate to say that I’m good at it. I have done work as a fight choreographer for film, and I am trained in stage combat as well.
2) I’m a contortionist. Yes. Again, since childhood. I had to take a few years off due to some back issues, but I’m getting...

You know
anedumacation:
I GET the historical argument
I do.
If you’re making a highly historically accurate movie about 14th century Scotland or something, I could see why you might argue against casting people of color. Might be kind of strange to see a brown dude in Braveheart, so yeah, fine. I get you.
But fantasy?
This is an escapist genre. The entire damn premise is that the laws of the...

Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you, the 2012...
Michelle Bachmann: "Don’t misunderstand. I am not here bashing people who are homosexuals, who are lesbians, who are bisexual, who are transgender. We need to have profound compassion for people who are dealing with the very real issue of sexual dysfunction in their life and sexual identity disorders.” (2004)
Ron Paul: "The rate of AIDS infection is on the increase again. From the gay point of view, the reasons seem quite sensible. First, these men don't really see a reason to live past their fifties. They are not married, they have no children, and their lives are centered on new sexual partners... because sex is the center of their lives, they want it to be as pleasurable as possible, which means unprotected sex. Third, they enjoy the attention & pity that comes with being sick." (1995 in a newsletter)
Rick Perry: "I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a Christian, but you don't need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school. " (2011 in a campaign ad)
Mitt Romney: "I should tell my story. I'm also unemployed." (2011 while speaking to unemployed people in Florida. Romney's net worth is over $200 million.)
Newt Gingrich: "She's not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of the President. And besides, she has cancer." (1994, about his first wife)
Rick Santorum: "Is anyone saying same-sex couples can’t love each other? I love my children. I love my friends, my brother. Heck, I even love my mother-in-law. Should we call these relationships marriage, too?" (2008)
Michelle Bachmann: "Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas." (2009 during a debate)
Mitt Romney: "PETA is not happy that my dog likes fresh air." (2006, when questioned about driving 12 hours with his dog in a cage strapped to the top of his car)

Best Christmas Gift
reindeersu:
clevercheshire:
So my uncle Jim has this tradition where he makes it especially difficult for my father to retrieve his Christmas gift. This year topped all others.
My father’s present included:
1 pair of safety goggles
1 flexible saw
1 pack of drill bits
1 bastard file
& a 100 dollar bill which my uncle encased in three layers of aluminum riveted together.
Good luck...
